    Time flies, Zhao Xun has been in the Landu tribe for more than a month.  The battle situation in Qi is still in a stalemate. Whether it is the Xuzhou Army, the Tang Army, the Qi Army, or the Yong Army, they are all attacking or counterattacking.

    Just as Zhao Xun said in reply to Murong Cheng, Zhao Xun appeared in Bingzhou and Xiazhou. Although he did not directly attack Yong's army, it was equivalent to secretly helping Qi's army.  For more than a month after Zhao Xun appeared in the north, Situ Lei slowed down his attack on Qi, and instead focused on guarding the western prefectures of Yongzhou, especially Chang'an.

    After the Yanzhou Army occupied Yuzhou, it entered the recovery stage. It was the only prince in the south that did not participate in the war, while the Xuzhou Army and the Qi Army fought hard in Yangzhou.

    Yangzhou is, after all, the home base where Murong Cheng has been operating for many years, and Murong Cheng¡¯s influence here is deeply rooted.  Li Chi had just taken over the four prefectures in eastern Yangzhou and had no time to thoroughly clean up this complicated internal problem.  Of course, he did not dare to easily cause trouble internally at this time.  Therefore, in the process of competing with Murong Cheng, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.  In fact, the four prefectures occupied by the Xuzhou Army began to become a little unstable.

    As for the Tang army, although Tang Xian continued his old relationship and quickly occupied the northern part of Jingzhou.  However, the next action was not satisfactory.  In other words, he was able to succeed so quickly in the beginning.  In addition to the past relationship, more importantly, everyone in Jingzhou thought that King Murong Cheng of Qi was besieged by the princes of the world and was trapped in Xuzhou, unable to return.

    But at the beginning, Li Chi did not join forces with the Yanzhou Army to besiege the Qi Army in Huaiyin Prefecture. Instead, the army went south and blocked the Qi Army's withdrawal route, which was very likely to cause the Qi Army and the Yanzhou Army to fight to the death.  It is a pity that the Qi army's food and grass were cut off, and there were also changes in Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangzhou and other places.  Therefore, Murong Cheng did not fight the Yanzhou army as Li Chi expected. Instead, after struggling in Xuzhou, he withdrew to Yangzhou.

    The result of this was that the armies of Li Chi and Murong Cheng were in a stalemate in Yangzhou, and the war became more and more bitter.  Tang Xian was also struggling in the southern part of Jingzhou and found it difficult to make a profit.  For this reason, Tang Xian secretly scolded Yanzhou Army Li Feng and Xuzhou Army Li Chi.  After all, the biggest mistake of these two men was that they did not delay Murong Cheng in Yuzhou and Xuzhou.

    The war in the south is endless, and Zhao Xun is also busy in the north.  After a month, all the soldiers of the thirty-five tribes were grouped together by Zhao Jun and transferred to Xiazhou for separate training.  At the head of each tribe, Zhao Jun also sent many officials to settle in.  Although on the surface they are all responsible for taxation, trade, and maintaining commercial order, the leaders of the various tribes trapped in the Landu tribe know that they have completely lost control of the tribe this time.

    In addition to these docile thirty-five tribes that have long been dealt with by Zhao Jun, the nine major tribes have also undergone considerable changes.  The Bujia tribe, which became the second largest tribe in the Landu tribe, was finally taken advantage of by Zhao Xun because of a small mistake in going to the tribe leader and took away the power of the tribal army. It became the second tribe among the nine tribes to completely lose power.  tribe.  It was also the second tribe that began to fully integrate into Zhao Jun.

    Zhao Xun divided the nine tribes into three, forming three small groups, and each was equipped with the remaining Zhao soldiers to form three defense groups.  Although this method did not completely deprive the tribes of their rights, it was because each small group was composed of three tribes plus Zhao Jun.  Therefore, Zhao Jun is in charge of the head coach and some military advisors responsible for strategic planning.  After all, the leaders of these major tribes are still the guardian envoys conferred by King Zhao.  And King Zhao came to the front line in person, how could they dare to have any objections?  Don¡¯t you see, what happened to the seven heads and Ha Gang, the leader of the Bujia tribe?

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Fifty miles away to the north of the Landu tribe, the forward of the Turkic army is stationed here.  Originally, these Turkic armies would not camp in one place for a long time.  However, the sporadic sneak attacks by Zhao Jun and the nine tribes made all the northern tribes uneasy.  In order to stabilize his rule, Xue Nie Khan had no choice but to summon an army. He could only build a large camp opposite the Landu tribe to face the Zhao army and suppress the Zhao army's wanton northward sneak attack.

    Three hundred miles north of the Turkic forward camp is the headquarters of Xue Nie Khan's army.  Xue Nie Khan gathered all the armies together and trained them here. He imitated the Zhao army and prepared to implement centralized control of the army.

    ??During the recent stalemate, the Turkic army has become quite nervous.  Xue Nie Khan was worried about Zhao Jun's actions, so he stepped up his defense.

    In the headquarters of the Turkic army, Xue Nie Khan's newly appointed general of the left, Mo Huba, had a depressed look on his face. He said in a deep voice to Xue Nie Khan, who was sitting silently on the main seat: "Your Majesty, I see, we  We were fooled by King Zhao! King Zhao came here not to fight us, but to rectify his own forces."

    A look of anger appeared on Xue Nie Khan's face, and he said coldly: "Have you checked clearly?"

     "It has been found out that during this month, the Zhao army built a wall a hundred miles away from Landu City, and divided the Zhao army into three cities, forming a three-way attack. Now, regardless of  If we act from either side, the Zhao army may directly attack the rear of our army. If the tragedy of the Moran tribe happens again, our soldiers are afraid" Mo Hu.  Ba frowned and said.

    As soon as he heard what Mo Huba said, Xue Nie Khan's face became even more gloomy.  When the King of Zhao arrived in person, he thought that the enemy was going to attack him, so he strictly ordered his subordinates to attack without warning. After learning that the Moran tribe was attacked, he failed to send troops to pursue the enemy in time.  As a result, five consecutive tribes were exterminated by the Zhao army commander, while the opponent's losses were minimal.

    Now, the behavior of Zhao Jun coach Li Chenfeng in his own tribe has spread among both Zhao Jun and the Turkic Army, and his reputation is shocked.  And the soldiers of the five tribes who had their clans wiped out complained all day long and wanted to avenge their clansmen.  More importantly, because of his inaction, many soldiers in the army are now dissatisfied.

    In addition, after learning about Zhao Jun¡¯s actions, many tribal leaders began to recall the tribal warriors here.  After all, these tribes were using the excuse that they were afraid that something like the Moran tribe would happen, so he couldn't refuse.  Who made him fail to send troops to encircle and suppress it in time?  In the end, the four tribes they fought with were also poisoned by the enemy.  However, the Zhao army in action only had 20,000 troops.

    Seeing that his king¡¯s face was not good-looking, Mo Huba naturally understood what was going on. The recent problems in the camp also made these Xue Nie Khan¡¯s trusted generals very irritable.

    "Your Majesty, we can't go on like this. No matter what, we have to take action against Zhao Jun. When we are stationed here, we consume an extremely huge amount of food every day. This is simply unaffordable for us.  ¡±

    "Secondly, because we did nothing during this month, the Zhao army gathered heavily and prepared the opponent. This is extremely detrimental to us. Regardless of whether we attack or withdraw in the future, the time will be delayed.  The longer it takes, the more prepared Zhao Jun will be."

    Xue Nie Khan's expression changed, he glanced at Mo Huba, and said in a deep voice: "So, in your opinion, can we beat the Zhao army on the opposite side now? You should be very clear about their strength. Especially now.  The loud thunder in their hands is a fatal threat to us. If not, why would I be sitting here?"

    "However, even if we are defeated, we still have to fight We are deadlocked here, and all the tribes are very dissatisfied because they have not gained anything for a long time. And the proud soldiers and generals in the camp are clamoring for peace all day long.  Zhao Jun fights. In this case, why don't we fight with Zhao Jun? Even if it is to calm down the internal chaos and relieve our pressure, Mo Huba suggested to Xue Nie Khan with a cold light in his eyes.

    Xue Nie Khan was startled for a moment, and his narrow eyes narrowed into a line: "Calm down the internal chaos and reduce the pressure? So it's not impossible. Since Since the forward battalion and those tribes are not happy with Ben Khan's military orders,  Then let them go to war with Zhao Jun. Victory is the best. Even if they fail, I will let them fight to the death with Zhao Jun. "

    "Mo Huba, adjust the army's garrison. Those warriors who want to fight the Zhao army will be transferred to the forward camp. Those who have violated the military orders of the Khan will also be transferred to the front line. Then I will give good luck to the forward camp.  The general sent an order to give him the right to attack the city of Landu tribe and strive to capture the passage for our Turkic army to move south as quickly as possible. "

    "Follow the order!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In early June, summer has arrived in the south, but the weather in the northern grasslands is still refreshing and comfortable.  After a month and a half of stalemate between the Zhao army and the Turkic army, the Turkic army finally began to take action.

    The Turkic Forward Battalion's 100,000-strong army pointed directly at Landu City, where the Zhao army's central army was headed, and where the Landu tribe was stationed.  And Xue Nie Khan also sent two partial troops to attack the two cities on the left and right of Landu City.  The Turkic army was so powerful that they vowed to capture the King of Zhao among the Zhao army and advance into the Han territory.

    Of course, Zhao Jun had already received news of the Turkic army's actions through horse detection.  As the Turkic army moved, Zhao Jun also mobilized one after another and prepared for the battle.  Zhao Xun personally took command of Landu City to fight against the incoming Turkic army.

    In an instant, the sky above the Landu tribe was filled with clouds of war, and the original relaxed atmosphere disappeared. Instead, everything became busy inside and outside. All the people coming and going were soldiers in armor from Zhao and the logistics team transporting grain and grass supplies.  However, Zhao Xun's stay here also made the atmosphere here less tense.  At the very least, the merchants and tribal herders here are still living a normal life.

    Why is this so?  That's because the leader of Zhao Jun is here.  No matter what, can Zhao Jun still put Zhao Jun in danger?  Therefore, in the eyes of these businessmen and people, this place is stillSafe.

    At the General¡¯s Mansion in Landu City, all the civil and military generals gathered together to discuss the war at hand.  In the center of the hall, there is a large sand table.

    "Wei Zilin, are all the logistical equipment required by the army in place?"

    Wei Zilin said in a deep voice: "Reporting to your lord, all the army needs are in place. Not only our place, but also the cities on the east and west sides are also well prepared."

    These nodded with satisfaction and said to Li Chenfeng, who was on the lower left: "General Li, send a message to the generals of the two cities on the left and right, asking them to be careful of the three large tribes under their respective command. But if there is an abnormality, the main thing is to protect yourself.  Although it is said that these seven tribes will not have any objections, no one can guarantee that there will be no changes. "

    "In addition, we must not only pay attention to the attack and defense of the three cities. Of course, the most important one is here. We must also pay attention to the gaps between the three cities. Be careful that the Turkic army will rush out from the gaps and kill  Entering the south will bring bad consequences to us. Therefore, our cavalry must strengthen patrols."

    Li Chenfeng nodded, his face solemn and his voice deep.

    After arranging a series of wartime arrangements, Zhao Xuncai breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "It's strange. The Turkic army didn't take action earlier or later. Why did they choose this time? Attack at this time.  They have no chance of winning."

    Zhang Yuanjing said: "My lord, according to reports from our spies, General Li's actions in the north a month and a half ago panicked all the tribes near us on the grassland. And Xue Nie Khan's inaction also made these tribes dissatisfied.  . In addition, the Turkic army is in a stalemate, and their losses are not small. My subordinates speculate that this should be the reason why they take offensive actions in this world. Presumably, Xue Nie Khan does not want to fight with our army at this time.  . He prefers that when his army is in action, we are busy fighting with the southern princes. "

    Zhao Xun said quietly: "No matter what his reasons are, the war has begun. What we need to do is to completely block the low price from our war portal." Although Landu City is called a city, it is actually just a proposed walled city.  , Therefore, we still need to increase urban defenses.  The life of our Da Zhao sergeant is much nobler than that of the Turkic army. We must use the land to kill the effective strength of the Turkic army.  I want to see how many people in the Turkic army can be sacrificed.  "

    Zhang Yuanjing looked at the sand table, pondered for a moment, and said coldly: "My lord, it is not right to defend blindly. After all, there is no way to retreat in Landu City. In my humble opinion, why not ambush the opponent in front of Weizi Lake, where he can be killed?"  The majesty of killing the Turkic army."

    When Zhao Xun heard this, he immediately looked at the map, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Oh? Yuan Jing, tell me what you think?"

    Zhang Yuanjing pointed to the sand table and said in a deep voice: "Please see, my lord, this Weizi Lake is the only place where the Turkic army must pass when they go south to reach us. Moreover, there are no water sources around. If nothing happens, the other side will definitely have to stop here.  The speed is convenient for the army to temporarily obtain water and for livestock to drink. And in front of Weizi Lake is Dalinggou. If we set up an ambush here"

    "Okay, General Li, go down and make arrangements immediately, right here!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Arruda, the most trustworthy general under General Geely.  He is the head of the five lieutenants of the forward battalion and the vanguard of the army.

    This time, Xue Nie Khan finally agreed to send troops.  Geely immediately sent out 15,000 men to lead the army and set off directly towards Landu City, intending to set up camp under Landu City.  Arruda's main purpose is to clear the way for the army and ensure that the subsequent army can smoothly enter the camp outside Landu City.

    Arruda naturally accepted the order happily, even a little impatient.  Because he had a premonition that this would be an opportunity for him to make great achievements.  If he can catch it, he can take a step forward and be valued by Xue Nian Khan.

    Arruda¡¯s troops left the Turkic forward camp, traveled all the way at dawn and stayed overnight, and finally approached Landu City.

    "General, ahead is Weizi Lake, which is very close to Land City. Here, we need to replenish water for the horses. The soldiers also need to replenish their water sources." The general said to Arruda.

    "Command the three armies to slow down and quickly replenish the water supply. Later, we must rush to Landu City immediately." Arruda clenched the scimitar in his hand and shouted sternly on the horse: "All soldiers, please do not delay, we must  Arrive at the foot of Landu City before dark, and camp at the foot of Landu City. Anyone who delays will be killed on the spot."

    The forward troops of the Tang Army slowed down slightly to provide time for the horses to drink and for the soldiers to fill their water bags, but they did not rest here.  However, the army slowed down so much that it became a lot messier and the soldiers became more relaxed.

    Three miles south of Weizi Lake, there is a place that looks like a canyon.  On both sides are small hills of earth diagonally upward, but they just spread to the surroundings, forming an uneven terrain.??Valley.  There is only a flat land more than 200 meters wide in it for passage.  Youyu Tushan does not completely block traffic, so this is not a dangerous place.

    "Speed ??up, the sooner we arrive, the better." Arruda looked at the sunset and shouted sternly.

    With the commander¡¯s orders, the soldiers naturally did not dare to delay.  The cavalry at the front immediately accelerated and charged forward.  However, just as they were passing through the small valley of Dagouling, arrows flew up from behind the low valleys on both sides, just like a shower of rain falling viciously on the heads of the advancing Turkic cavalry.  Countless Turkic cavalry did not understand what was going on and were unable to dodge. In an instant, more than six to seven hundred cavalry were killed by arrows flying from both sides. The falling of these soldiers also caused a commotion in the army.

    "What's going on?" Arruda, who was in the center of the army, looked at the arrow rain on both sides and roared sharply.

    However, the sneak attack did not end there. The forward, Turkic cavalry who continued to advance rapidly could not reach Li Xu.  The empty wilderness suddenly collapsed without warning, and thousands of archers emerged from the ground like ghosts.

    "Damn it, there's an ambush!"

    The centurion at the vanguard of the army cursed secretly, and then wanted to charge with his horse and kill the archers on the opposite side. However, at this moment, the horse under the centurion's crotch suddenly sank, knocking these Turkic cavalry off their horses.  The back was violently lifted out.

    The centurion flew forward for dozens of steps in the air before falling heavily to the ground.  This fall knocked the centurion almost to death. Before he could get up, he felt a cold feeling on his back, and then the whole body gradually disappeared

    "Uh it's a horse trap!" The centurion groaned feebly before falling into darkness.
